The HTC EVO Shift allows you to customize the touch- screen controls and the language of the on-screen keyboards. The phone can vibrate or make a click sound when pressing keys, and predict the words as you type in the letters. If the touch -screen calibration is off, you can correct that too. The EVO Shift even features a handy typing tutorial to help you get used to using the keyboards. You can access these settings through the phone's menu.

Press the "Menu" button on the main screen and tap "Settings."

Touch "Language & keyboard" and open "Touch Input."

Tap "Keyboard types" to select from the standard QWERTY keyboard, the phone keypad and a compact QWERTY keyboard.

Tap "International keyboard" to select the language layout of the QWERTY keyboards.

Select "Text input" to enable or disable predictive text and spell check. You can also use this menu to enable and disable sound, and vibration when pressing a key, set preferences for Chinese, go through the typing tutorial, add words to the predictive text dictionary and calibrate the touch screen.
